Queen Victoria might have worn a pair of earrings like these on a more casual day--if there is such a thing for a queen. Hand fabricated in silver over 9ct. gold (hence of British origin) and arrayed with glimmering diamonds, these delightful ear drops will swing and sparkle with every turn of your head. Exquisite wreaths of laurel leaves form teardrop shapes, embellished in the centers and below with dangles of European and rose-cut diamonds, all suspended from a diamond post converted from the original wire style. Go on, be queen for a day. Circa 1890. Total diamond weight 4.00 carats. Earrings measure 3/4 by 2 1/8 inches.
